About the Portlet App
The Portlet application is built in the Application Development Framework (ADF).
Overview
The Portlet application provides a drag and drop user interface utilizing content pods to allow users the ability to build their own personalized page. Pods can be configured with predefined content or user selected content. Via RSS, pods contain external content such as news and weather feeds or by using CommonSpot's out of the box RSS feed capability content from Global Custom elements can be displayed. Each pod has properties such has dragable, editable, deletable and collapsible. These properties can be locked so pre-defined pods are locked from user control.
